Governor allred issues
PROCLAMATION CALLING
FOR DAIRY WEEK
The necessity for a more diver-
sified production on farms in
East Texas is emphasized by a
proclamation issued by Governor
James V. Allred.
He designated August 12 to Ylf
as Dairy Week in Texas. The
proclamation was issued by the
Governor at the request of A. G.
“Pat” Mayse, president of the
East Texas Chamber of Com-
merce. It follows:
“Whereas, there is necessityfor
more diversified production on the
farms of Texas if the people are
to secure the full benefit of the
fertile lands and favorable cli-
mate that nature has given us;
and
“Whereas, the production of
milk and milk products has never
equaled the demand in Texas, and
the result has been the importa-
tion of much of these products
which could and should be pro-
duced within our borders, there-
by increasing our income and
providing work for many people
now unemployed; and
“Whereas, the East Texas
Chamber of Commerce is spon-
soring a campaign of education
and demonstration for the pur-
pose of informing our people of
the opportunities for utilizing our
resources in dairying.
“Now, therefore, I, James V.
Allred, Governor of the State of
Texas, by virtue of the authority
vested in me under the Consti-
tution and laws of this State, do
hereby designate and proclaim
the week of August 12 to 17 as
Dairy Week in Texas and do
earnestly request and advise that
the people take advantage of the
opportunities that will be given
to inform thepiselves of the im-
ertatnee of dairying, and thereby
be encouraged to the inprove-
ment of dairy herds, to increas-
ed use of dairy products which
are the most healthful foods
known to mankind, to encourage
the investment of capital in the
production and manufacture of
dairy products, to the end that
all may share in the benefits that
will‘thereby be available. *
A Dairy Production of “East
Texas,” official publication of the
regional chamber, ■will come from

Probably chief interest in the
August 24th election on the sev-
en proposed Constitutional am-
endments will center on Propo-
sition Number 3 on the ballot—
the repeal of Prohibition, accord-
ing to Secretary of State Gerald
C. Mann.
The Constitution, at present,
prohibits the .sale, manufacture
and transportation or alcoholic
liquors (except 3.2 beer). This
prohibition woulud be stricken out
by the adoption of the Repeal
Amendment.
The proposed amendment spec-
ifically prohibits the return of
the open saloon—and it would be
up to the Legislature to define
the term ‘“open saloon.”
No machinery is set up for the
sale of liquor. The Legislature
would have the authority to de-
termine just who and just how
liquor is to be sold. This could
be done by State monolopy or
through private, channels. The
Legislature would have the au-
thority to pass laws regulating
local option elections.
■ If the amendment is adopted
all counties, cities and precincts
that were dry in 1919 when state-
wide prohibition was adopted
would be dry now—at least until
local option elections were held
to determine otherwise.
It is well to remember, Secre-
tary Mann points out, that there
will be an election next year in
November to determine whether
the State shall sell liquor through
a State monolopy system. If the
repeal amendment is adopted in
August the State may establish a
state control and monolopy sys-
tem. If the repeal amendment is
defeated in August, it will in
effect be submitted again in No-
vember, 1936, in the State Mono-
poly Amendment which says the
State shall have a liquor monolo-
py. To retain the present dry
status both the August 24th am-
endment and the November, 1936,
amendment must be defeated.
Passage of either will repeal the
present prohibition section of the
jConstitution. '

WAIHINOIOI
Special to the Chronicle.
Washington, July 25.—About
the only persoji in Washington
who is not completely worn^yut
by work and worry in the jungle
heat pf a Capital Summer is the
president of the United States.
That fact is noted here to dispel
rumors that the President’s health
is failing.
Washington’s “silly season” al-
ways produces a crop of gossip
and rumor about whoever hap|
to be occupying the White Ho
Sly whispers are exchanged, pas-
sed on and magnified in the pass-
ing, about the incumbent Presi-
dent’s morals or his health. These
get circulated around the country,
until a lot of people who ought tt>
know better than to credit irres-
ponsible gossip, get to believe
that there is something seriously
wrong.
This year's gossip touches the
President’s health. Nobody is
whispering about his morals, but
you can hear at any bar or club,
at almost any social gathering
or even on street corners "inside”
but false information to the ef-
fect that Mr. Roosevelt is physi-
cally in a bad way. The gossip
mongers Nvill tell you that, the in-
fantile paralysis, which has de-
prived him of the use of his legs
for the past fourteen years, is
creeping upward, affecting his
nervous system and digestion and
causing his doctors alarm, etc,
etc., etc.
President .Spikes Rumor
That is not ture, but the ru-
mor has become so persistent that
the President himself took notice
of it, and at a recent press con-
ference called attention to his ro-
bust physical condition and the
calmness of his nerves.
While he cannot take any form
of exercise that involves the use
of his legs, such as riding, golf
or tennis, he gives great atten-
tion to keeping physically fit,
gets his exercise by swimming in
the White House swimming pool
for half an hour every day and
is probably now in better general
health than when he took office.
He plans to demonstrate the
truth about his health to the
whole nation next month when he
will cross the continent and make
several speeches at strategic
points.
The President has one advan-
tage over Congress, in that he
sleeps in the same building that
he works in, and does not have
to expose himself tq 100-degkee
temperatures in passing from one
these services. Come at least en-
ough to get acquainted with the the mdicatiorfs-new -are that. Con-

gress will act on that prescrip-
tion and go home around the mid-
dle of August, perhaps earlier,
leaving the President’s new tax
program for cooler consideration,

sion beginning in November.

Congressmen, although their work-
ing quarters are air-cooled, can-
not escape the exposure to torrid,
humid climate, and have to get
such sleep as they can in hot
rooms which are not conducive to
rest.
The result is the greatest col-
lection of frayed netves -•'d hair-
trigger tempers ever ge'heredon
Capitol Hill. Congress, a« a whole,
is physically unfit to debate
calmly and reason clearly over
any legislative proposal.
Senator Royal S. Copeland of
New York, a physician and for-
mer Health Commissioner, said
frankly and publicly the other-’
day that such a worn-out, dog-
tired, heat-smitten and generally
run down aggregation as the Sen-
ate and House at this time could
not possibly give balanced, well-
considered or statesmanlike judg-
ments. _i_
